There is such a situation, User Pegasas in Lithuanian Wikipedia has blocked by Atlantas. Emka is blocked by the administrator Homo. Reason: obscure the main user. I would like to use acount "Emka". I was blocked for an indefinite period and that can no longer use any account altogether. --78.59.117.4 18:46, 14 October 2008 (UTC) user Emka.Reply

Hello Emka, I am not sure, why You are contacting me about this, there is not much I can do, this is a local problem, please try to contact a local admin via special:emailuser and explain the situation. I can see You have been blocked before for several reasons [8] and also Pegasas, the blockreasons I all can't read due to not knowing the language, and I don't understand what You mean by "Reason: obscure the main user."

Hello, Ndege. There's some problem occured in our local Wikipedia. Initilly we were just use to upload an image right there and commons also.

Thanks for catching that, I've fixed the option to allow account creation. xaosflux ^Talk 12:10, 18 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

As this was a manual creation (not a SUL autocreation [9]) using generally non-typeable characters for the language the rest of the username appears to be in, the use of those bullet marks appear to be to intentionally make this username difficult to work with for others, making it inappropriate in my opinion. If you disagree and want to reverse that block, (especially if the user has any type of explanation or states they plan on being a productive contributor) it's fine by me. Thank you, !!!!

Along agf, I've unblocked, left them a note that they may want to consider a different name. Thank you, xaosflux ^Talk 17:00, 18 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

The pictures you have deleted were there for more than one year. So firstly you must give a warning message to backup them. I can not find the old pictures now. This page is built to tell wikipeople how the wikimechanist sholud be. I think you are always busy so you have not time to bulid home made things so you do not need wikimechanist but real wikipeople may need it. Now, can you put the pictures again to make a backup then you can delete again. You succeed to cut my writings and work. wikimechanist

Hi. Although the SUL util tool only lists 3 of the accounts I attached to my SUL, Special:MergeAccount correctly lists the 7 accounts currently merged and the unattached fr.wiki account (which has one edit in 2006) that doesn't belong to me. Does this discrepancy between the toolserver and MergeAccount raise any issues? Also, do I still need to request deletion of my SUL account prior to requesting usurpation on fr.wiki? (Is this related in any way with the recently fixed bug 13507?) And finally, do I qualify for such a request given that my main account is 3 years old and has around 500 edits? Thanks in advance. --Arcadie | Talk 19:47, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the quick reply. I created this temporary account at fr.wiki in order to submit the usurpation request (and have it renamed to my global account), but the Special:MergeAccount page automatically created a SUL account for it without even asking me. :( Do I have to request deletion of this SUL account first before I can proceed with the usurpation on fr.wiki? Thanks. --ArcadieSUL 21:20, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

This is so confusing. The system obviously still has some flaws. I'm sorry if I'm creating even more confusion. --Arcadie | Talk 21:23, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hola Spacebirdy,

¿Cuáles son los requisitos para que un steward le haga un lock a una cuenta? ¿Tiene que ser vandalismo interwiki o basta con que sea vandalismo local? Es que hoy se han bloqueado más de tres cuentas pertenecientes al mismo usuario, las cuales han sido usadas sólo para vandalizar. Gracias. Dferg (T-ES) 20:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Gracias por tu respuesta. Lamentáblemente, las cuentas de las que te hablaba, de momento, no cumplen con los criterios que me has enunciado. Muchísimas gracias de todos modos.

Greetings. I recently noticed that I was blocked on Test Wikipedia "per checkuser results". Can you kindly identify the IP address that caused you to block my account, as I don't believe that I have abused multiple accounts in any way. I don't recall ever logging into Wikipedia outside of my home.

I'm not blaming you in any way and I apologize if I sound harsh, but I'm quite speechless at the moment as I've been active on Wikimedia projects for over a year now and I would like this resolved as quickly as possible. Wenli 03:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I am not trying to play any games with you. I am an experienced user on the English Wikipedia and I have over 4,000 edits there. Please take a look at all my active Wikimedia accounts (enwiki and simplewiktionary, as well as WenliBot). Also, I am indeed blocked on Test Wikipedia as you can see here. I merely would like to know what caused the recent actions taken on my account. If you are not interested in handling my request, please direct me to a page where it can be handled. Thanks. Wenli 04:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm guessing that you identified an IP address other than my home IP address. My home IP starts with 70.72 (I'm not putting the rest for privacy reasons). Can you at least tell me if the other IP address is a public IP, open proxy, or some form of a shared IP address? I would like to find out where I logged in, and I don't want to be responsible for all the vandalism that is done by a shared IP address. Thanks. Wenli 05:17, 23 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi, after you blocked User Talk:68.199.133.47 here, he has now followed me here and seems bent on carrying on. As a steward, is there are way he can be globally blocked from all WMF projects, as he seems to be, er, in need of help?

Hello, I don't have the time to look deeper into this right now, according to luxo it seems to have stopped for now (also I would unblock him on Meta if globally blocked or shorten the block, so that an innocently affected user could complain against the gblock), please feel free to open a request on SRG if it continues, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 00:24, 28 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sysop rights on the Old English ANG-wikipedia would be very useful for me indeed, as I am easily one of the greatest contributors, and easily the most passionate about it. I have written several lengthy and detailed articles, and I consider all creations to be works in progress, will continual additions. Sysop rights would help me to better perform these functions.

Hi, Spacebirdy, thanks for your reply to American Eagle's request. It wasn't very evident in the way the request was formulated, but this is also a request from me. The request is for a steward to volunteer to review my closing of an RfB. Since I'm the only bureaucrat on the project, I can't ask another bureaucrat to review it, and it seems to be a situation where having it reviewed by another person would be a good idea, so I thought I would try to get a steward to review it. Would you be willing to do so yourself, and if not, would it be OK if I re-open the request on the Permissions page and add an explanation? Thanks. Coppertwig 23:37, 6 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello MaximLitvin, we can't block accounts globally, we could lock them (requests for such locks can be placed at SRG.

Can You please explain to me what is going on on be.wiki, I have seen mass-creations of pages by users like be:Адмысловае:Contributions/Test30, etc. what are these pages, they look like substubs to me, but I have seen that be.wiki had not deleted them?

I could run a checkuser on these accounts to find out who is behind it, but I need to know if and what they did wrong in the first place.

Have You also tried to talk to him? If so, what was his response.

Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 07:56, 20 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Probably it is the sick person, or it is attempt to litter our project. We have removed more these 2000 "stubs". While it is the user it is not blocked can to create more "stubs", than we can physically remove. For removal the bot-sysop is necessary. We spoke with it much, all active community has spoken against these "stubs", we have blocked more than 10 its virtual accounts, but it continues them to register through MergeAccount. It has not given any answers, at all does not wish to write competently, has thought up the variant of language and the names for known words. I have correctly understood, what rules forbid us to address to authorities in our country to stop it? P.S. And be:User:Test32. --MaximLitvin 08:37, 20 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well, be:User:Yaneleksklus is indeed the sockmaster of all these accounts.

The problem, why he can do this is bug 11148, I have no idea why this has not been fixed long ago, You might want to vote there.

What I can offer You is to delete his pages with my bot, but for doing so the community of be.wiki should be in favor of that.

I would also recommend to stock up the available sysops, if there are some nice candidates available.

I will inform the SWMT about this, so he will get blocked on sight.

I can organise voting by removal of a spam. Though all active users already have expressed therefore to a question in comments. To remove a spam, to write a script, we can. A problem only in that the vandal any more did not work. As to additional sysops the vandal works during such time when the majority of normal people in our country sleep. Therefore, if the additional sysop, from far time zone is necessary. :) Thanks for councils! Best regards, --MaximLitvin 18:16, 20 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

To write a script is not necessary, there is Delete.py, which Darkoneko is using right now, he had seen the locks and this discussion and is nearly finished with the deletion of all the users substubs/vandal edits, only be:User:Yaneleksklus is open, we are not sure which ones should be deleted from his edits, the Andorra-things or others or both or none :)

• Many thanks to all involved! In be@wiki, we are just a bit too tight on resources (bandwidth, sleep time etc.). The guy showed again, and he is definitely "too enthusiastic" on some rather unrealistic ideas, like "precise phonematic transcription" and such. One may only hope that that's due to his young age (?). Let's hope that now that he's seen the "foreign intervention", he'll keep on the more polite side. Seemingly smart person, but complete flop at social interaction (yet?). Thanks again! Yury Tarasievich 07:52, 21 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don't see the problem with the size. Hmmm. Maybe it deformed when resized. Is it OK if it is not exactly the "standard" size? Thats the only way I could stretch it down or up to fix the "egg" shape you see. The page about a request for a logo is on: [14] If I get the egg problem fixed, I'd be happy if you utilize your experience to make a bugzilla request. Cheers, Nesnad 20:50, 20 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I tweaked the logo a bit, it's no longer an egg? :-) I hope it's good to go now? Image:Wikipedia-logo-cr.png Reload if you don't see a difference. Cheers, Nesnad 13:15, 21 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hola amiga, como has estado. Te quiero avisar que ya por fin tengo conexión de Internet en mi casa, he estado 600 días sin ella y he dependido de cibercafés para conectarme, pero ando totalmente perdido. Yo sé que hace meses pedí que se tratara mi caso para usurpar las cuentas de ja:user:Taichi, de:user:Taichi y ru:user:Taichi, sin embargo en estas tres wikipedias no podía registrarme con ese nombre y por ende debí registrarme como ja:user:*Taichi*, de:user:*Taichi* y ru:User:*Taichi*. Sé que te pregunté hace tiempo pero como he estado perdido nunca llegué a ver la respuesta y me perdonas. Pero quería hacerte una pregunta, ¿es posible traspasar mis contribuciones de *Taichi* a Taichi, o sólo pueden habilitarse las cuentas pero empezar de cero? Y si fuera posible, ¿qué procedimiento debo hacer? Si no es posible, estaré gustoso que al menos pueda registrarme como Taichi empezando de cero y clausurar las cuentas *Taichi*. Si puedes, dame la respuesta en mi página de discusión. Pacientemente esperaré tu respuesta. Un saludo.--Taichi - (あ！) 05:46, 1 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hola, espero que estés muy bien! Quería decirte que tanto en de.wiki como en ru.wiki ya me hicieron el cambio, pero en el caso de ja.wiki dejé la solicitud pero han pasado más de los 14 días de espera (llevo esperando 21 días) y aún no han hecho la usurpación. He visto que en ja.wiki no hay mucha celeridad en eso. A ver que se puede hacer. Y feliz Navidad!! --Taichi - (あ！) 21:30, 24 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hola Spacebirdy

Mi nombre es Usg19 de Wikipedia en Español. La recomendación a ti viene de Taichi. Quisiera cambiar mi nombre actual Usg19 por Saloca, que es como mi firma aparece, desafortunadamente ya existen la cuenta en 2 wikis creadas recientemente y con 0 edits.

Siendo razón de que actualmente no hay aportaciones de este usuario, quisiera saber si es factible cambiar mi nombre de usuario por este. Y proteger mi actual cuenta para prevenir que sea utilizada para fines de vandalismo.

Hi Spacebirdy!

We have a weird situation in pt.wiktionary: a user has been creating many sock-puppet accounts for the last few years and has not "declared" them as such. Up to now the worst thing that he has done with those accounts was to make them participate in discussions as if they were independent people. Not too much harm done but the guy seems to have some mild mental deviation, I'm afraid he may be preparing to influence votes and other such things.

So my question to you is: is it possible to find out all the sock-puppets of a given person? I don't want to request an official CheckUser on him, because as I said before, he has not done anything wrong enough to qualify for that, but I don't want to get caught unprepared. Is it possible to start "under the table" investigations?

Please, reply here on my meta talk page, not in pt.wiktionary. I don't want to alarm the guy...

--ValJor 16:25, 9 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi Spacebirdy!

You wrote:

Olá ValJor, it is possible to find socks of an user, but not always
all (some accounts might be too old to check, some might be in an
IP-range he has not had yet with his current account, etc.). But
sometimes it is not even necessary to do/ask for a checkuser because
the behaviour of some users does not leave any doubts :)

Well, his behaviour is very much obvious, I know who he is, but for new users, it's hard to know. That's why I wanted to unmask him...

We have a quite similar situation in de.wikt btw. but since the
accounts are very obvious I would not ask for a check on them, also
when a check is requested and the result is positive some action
should be taken and I don't want to take actions on these accounts
right now. Since in pt.wikt, as You said, the accounts had not yet
been used for votings I would not recommend to take action either, and
the problem is I would not see a reason for justifying a check, only
if he is disruptive, manipulates votes/discussions, etc., 

I just wanted to get a head start on it. But you're right, it's better to wait and see.

but what You could do is to remind the user that the project is a
community and every user has only one voice and should respect the
opinions of others (maybe he gets the hint).

Believe me, I have tried to reason with him (and his many puppets). There is no reasoning with this guy...

Anyway, thanks for replying.

Hola Spacebirdy, gracias por tomarse la molestia de responderme.

De nuevo, le agradezco su tiempo. Gracias Dferg ^(T-ES) 16:30, 14 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your concern. Yes, I have tried contacting different administrators, like I explained in Requests for comments/Croatian Wikipedia - User Suradnik13 - blocking and deleting, but on my great surprise and regret, NONE found it reasonable to at least respond. I can only guess that they are tolerating the given administrator for his nationalistic excesses, or they are simply all like that. Like I explained on the page, too, I've also tried getting opinion from Serbian Wikipedia, where I write the most (Serbian is my native tongue), and they were all also very surprised by events in Croatian Wikipedia. --Дарко Максимовић 08:41, 15 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well, usually I would say inform also the person in question about that rfc, but since You are blocked You could only do that per email. It would be interesting to hear the other side and essential that he comments to the accusations.

Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| 09:49, 15 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I agree completely. I listened to Your advice and a moment ago I wrote him a message by having previously logged out, so only my IP has been recorded. You can see the message here, which I translated to English as well for convenience. Thank you again. --Дарко Максимовић 23:15, 15 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

I just want to inform you that Suradnik13 gave some responses to my accusations and that, in response, I translated the whole disputed talk page. I would be very grateful if you read it (it's not too long) and gave your opinion. Thank you very much in advance. --Дарко Максимовић 11:02, 16 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please give me some feedback on this request, or redirect me to an admin that has time for such a thing, in case you are busy at the moment.

Hola Spacebirdy, He detectado un problema en la plantilla {{LockHide}}. Cuando esta plantilla es usada con el parámetro de la "home wiki" ocurre lo siguiente:

*{{LockHide|Abc|w:es}}

da como resultado:

• Abc (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • gblock • ST • lwcheckuser)

Si hacemos clic, bien en cualquiera de los enlaces [talk|contribs|block] éstos se muestran así: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/esUser:Abc cuando debería ser http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/es:User:Abc, es decir, que faltan los dos puntos detrás del código del proyecto.

He estado revisando el código de la plantilla, pero no soy muy ducho en la creación y mantenimiento de las mismas y me preguntaba si sería posible que tú o alguien familiarizado con las plantillas pudiesen arreglar ese pequeño problema.
